Herbivores And The Dynamics Of Communities And Ecosystems
Abstract
Herbivores are taxonomically and ecologically diverse, ranging in size from microscopic zooplankton to the largest of land vertebrates. Aquatic grazers include zooplankton (28, 182), larger invertebrates such as snails, insects, and crayfish, and vertebrates such as waterfowl, tadpoles, fish, muskrats, and moose (11, 27, 73, 115, 162, 163). Insects and mammals are the most conspicuous terrestrial herbivores (2, 49-49, 125), but nematodes (20), crustaceans (152), molluscs (78), birds, and reptiles (69) can also be significant. Marine ecosystems are grazed primarily by crustaceans (57, 79, 112, 143), molluscs (15, 126), fish (83, 84, 92), echinoderms (24, 25, 65), and a few insects (170), reptiles and mammals (123, 185).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
